On the other hand, use iteration threshold method to replace artificial means originally to dock the PET cardiac image of receiving and carry out coarse segmentation, further improved the Efficiency and accuracy that obtains myocardial region initial profile line.
For above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage can be become apparent more, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail.
Embodiment mono-
In technical scheme of the present invention, image partition method fractional calculus is theoretical and level set combines, propose the concept that fractional order level set image is cut apart, and constructed two Image Segmentation Model based on fractional order level set, that is: fractional order C-V model and fractional order RSF model.And utilize these two models to cut apart PET cardiac image, obtain than traditional better segmentation result of the Image Segmentation Model based on level set.
Refer to Fig. 1, its method flow diagram that is a kind of PET cardiac image of the present invention Myocardial Contour segmentation method, the method comprises the following steps:
S101: the PET cardiac image receiving is carried out to coarse segmentation, obtain the initial profile line of myocardial region;
In prior art, receiving after a PET cardiac image, is generally that first Preliminary division goes out the general profile of myocardial region by after artificial observation, and this coarse segmentation efficiency is low, and dividing precision and operator's working experience has direct relation.And in embodiments of the present invention, except carrying out follow-up curve evolvement calculating for mark off initial profile line in the situation that this people, a kind of method of preferably obtaining myocardial region initial profile line has also been proposed, by the gray scale in PET cardiac image is analyzed, use iteration threshold method to carry out coarse segmentation to the PET cardiac image receiving, described iteration threshold method is specially:
Step 1: initial threshold T(Theshhold is set), wherein T can be made as the maximum gradation value in image pixel and the mean value of minimum gradation value in this PET cardiac image; Iteration is set and upgrades threshold value TT, iteration termination rules d=|T-TT|<0.5 is set.
Step 2: the PET cardiac image receiving is divided into two region R1 and R2 according to described initial threshold T, the rule of dividing is generally, in R1 region can be the set that gray-scale value is more than or equal to all pixels of predetermined threshold value T, in R2 region, can be the set that gray-scale value is less than all pixels of predetermined threshold value T;
Step 3: the average gray value T2 of all pixels in average gray value T1 and the R2 of all pixels in calculating R1;
Step 4: iteration is set and upgrades threshold value TT=0.5* (T1+T2), calculate the value of d=|T-TT|;
Step 5: if the value of d is more than or equal to 0.5, using the value of current TT as initial threshold T, and repeat step 2 to step 4, successive iteration is until meet iteration termination rules d=|T-TT|<0.5
The efficiency that the myocardial region initial profile line that iteration threshold method obtains is thus compared artificial division is higher, and accuracy also can be more stable.
S102: the derivative exponent number α in the length of curve regular terms in the function representation of level set Image Segmentation Model is set to fractional order;
Here need the derivative exponent number α to being arranged to fractional order to describe, in general, scope to the derivative exponent number arranging does not limit, but under the prerequisite of conveniently calculating, derivative exponent number α can be arranged between 0 to 2, certainly can not be integer 1, can be rational number, irrational number or plural number within the scope of this.In the time that derivative exponent number α is arranged in this scope, can make only need to carry out just can obtain after relatively less iterations the result of calculation of final pinpoint accuracy.
Level set Image Segmentation Model described in the embodiment of the present invention mainly refers to the level set Image Segmentation Model that comprises integer order derivative in its length of curve regular terms, and now the most frequently used level set Image Segmentation Model mainly comprises C-V(Chan-Vese) model or can scaling region matching RSF(Region-Scalable Fitting) model.
For C-V model, its function representation is:
E cV(c 1, c 2, C) and=μ Length (C)+data fitting item,
For RSF model, its function representation is:
E rSF(f 1(X), f 2(X), C)=μ Length (C)+data fitting item,
Wherein Length (C) is length of curve regular terms, and the derivative that comprises integer rank, when it is applied green theorem and is introduced after level set function φ, obtains its equation expression for level set:
Length { &phi; = 0 } = &Integral; &Omega; &delta; 3 ( &phi; ( x , y ) ) | &dtri; &phi; ( x , y ) | dxdy
Wherein:
Figure BDA0000426069750000062
for the first order derivative of level set function φ (x, y).
When its derivative exponent number, α is set to after fractional order, and length of curve regular terms specifically becomes:
Length α{φ=0}=∫ Ωδ ε(φ(x,y))|D αφ(x,y)|dxdy
Wherein:
D αφ (x, y) is the α order derivative of level set function φ (x, y).
That is to say, the curvilinear integral under first order derivative has originally been become to the curve surface integral in the embodiment of the present invention.Of the prior art
Figure BDA0000426069750000063
belong to integer ladder degree.Carry out during image cuts apart utilizing Level Set Method, level set function φ (x, that integer ladder degree y) represents is each pixel (x, y) level set function φ (x, y) only depend on the level set function φ (x of its adjacent pixel or two pixels, y), that is to say the First-order Gradient of level set function φ (x, y) only there is local property, in other words, in the case of can for the pixel number of reference fix and little, final result of calculation is certain to cause certain limitation.And if by the First-order Gradient of level set function
Figure BDA0000426069750000065
expand to fractional order gradient (derivative) D αφ (x, y), because fractional order differential has the characteristic of " long memory (long-memory) ", the level set function φ (x of a pixel, y) fractional order differential not merely depends on the level set function φ (x that puts one or two adjacent pixel with this, y), but with the level set function φ (x of its all pixels around, y) relevant, here all pixels of indication can be the set of containing all pixels of entire image, that is to say fractional order gradient (derivative) D of level set function φ (x, y) αφ (x, y) has global nature, and in other words, in the case of can contain whole the pixel in PET cardiac image for the pixel number of reference, it is more accurate that final result of calculation is certain to.If but calculated with reference to all pixels, can make calculated amount excessive, even if finally can obtain the result of calculation of pinpoint accuracy, but the time of waiting for result of calculation can be also very long, therefore in the case of final computational accuracy not being produced considerable influence, in numerical evaluation, in order to reduce calculated amount, usually the technical limitation of choosing the pixel for calculating is arrived in certain scope, in embodiments of the present invention, being set to is at least at least three adjacent pixels of each pixel on initial profile line.
